'AAP MLAs removed by police from LG office'

NEW DELHI: AAP MLAs Somnath Bharti and S K Bagga, who had been "seeking an appointment" to satisfy the Lt Governor on Tuesday, had been allegedly removed via police from the LG workplace the place they had gone to wait a DDA assembly.

Both Bharti and Bagga, contributors of Delhi Development Authority (DDA), after the assembly stayed again at LG workplace and sought an appointment to satisfy LG Anil Baijal, Bharti mentioned.

However, the Raj Niwas in a observation claimed, "after the meeting ended, MLAs Somnath Bharti and S K Bagga, who came to attend the meeting, refused to leave the residential premises of the Lt Governor, on the pretext of joining the 'dharna' of the chief minister."

The two MLAs had been "repeatedly requested" to end their "unauthorised occupation" of the residential premises of the Lt Governor, the observation from the Raj Niwas mentioned.

"However, they refused to leave and continued with their unauthorised occupation for about two hours and left only after considerable persuasion," it added.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who himself is sitting on an indefinite dharna at LG workplace since June 11, termed the incident atypical and mentioned that it is constitutional accountability of the LG to satisfy the elected representatives.

"Two MLAs evicted forcefully using police by LG? Just becoz they wanted to meet him? What is this going on? Why is LG refusing to meet MLAs, MPs, ministers, CM? Does LG know that he has a constitutional duty to meet them? He has no choice but to meet them? This is bizarre," he tweeted.



Bharti alleged that he was "ousted" from LG workplace via a heavy police power.

"Ashamed that Honble LG in place of hearing us out for 2 min used heavy police led by ACP Sri Tyagi to oust us from LG House. Possibly the most potent democratic tool namely dialogue has no place in the Modi era," he tweeted.



Bharti mentioned that along side Bagga, AAP's Krishna Nagar MLA, he was ready in the convention room of LG workplace after furnishing a letter in search of appointment with Baijal.

He mentioned that he wanted to satisfy the LG for the "deadlock" in Delhi but was requested to move out and later "ousted" with the assistance of police.

However, a senior police officer mentioned that Bharti and Bagga didn't have an appointment to satisfy Baijal and had been requested to go away.

"We checked with the control room of the LG office whether the MLAs had any appointment with the LG but they said that there was no meeting fixed. The MLAs were asked to leave and no police force used to oust them," he added.

Meanwhile, the Raj Niwas in a observation mentioned, Lt Governor Anil Baijal chaired the DDA assembly to imagine the general public ideas and feedback which were sought at the factor of the proposed amendments in the Master Plan of Delhi (MPD) 2021.

The amendments in construction regulate norms for shop-cum-residential plots and redevelopment of godowns clusters current in non-conforming areas, seeks to supply reduction to traders from the continued sealing power.


"This was an important meeting in the interest of people and development of Delhi, and was convened after following due procedure prescribed for such amendments in MPD-2021," the observation mentioned.


The DDA has gained over 800 ideas and objections from the general public at the proposed changes in the MPD-2021 over a duration of 15 days, since May 26.


The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) had invited feedback from other people following a directive from the Supreme Court.


Kejriwal,along side his colleagues, were at Lieutenant Governor Baijal's workplace since June 11, not easy a direction to IAS officers to end what the AAP describes a "strike" and approval of the doorstep ration delivery scheme.
